The challenge for February is to post videos of classical music either written or performed by musicians of color.
Violin Concertos by Black Composers Reissue adds Florence Price
With the addition of Florence Price, Barton's survey of Black composers runs from the 1790s through the 1950s. To me, the reissue is a more comprehensive survey, and a more satisfying listen.
